Sculpture
Jene Highstein was an American sculptor known for monumental abstract forms in stone, wood, and bronze. Working primarily from the 1970s onward, his practice centered on the relationship between geometric abstraction and natural materials, often exploring massive scale as a formal inquiry into space and weight. His carved and cast works engage the viewer's bodily experience of form in landscape and interior settings. This profile will be expanded as more verified source material becomes available.
